Great skills and review for every professional. Some of the topics seem like common knowledge, however in the workplace these skills are worth revisiting and fine tuning through this course.

Pros:

- Lessons covered many different types of business writing and aspects of it, such as which channels to use in which circumstances, email-writing, and report-writing

- The email-writing section was particularly informative to me and has helped shape my methodology for writing emails

Cons:

- I would prefer more video lectures and perhaps more exercises. A lot of the learning is via readings. The readings are well-written, but their content doesn't expand much beyond free content one might find when Googling.

- In general, I would prefer more depth on each topic.

Nonetheless, thank you for creating this course, Professor Robins! It is a great concept, and I hope that it gets the chance to be expanded upon in the future.

Pros - some interesting & good points which I would definitely adopt in day-to-day communication.

Cons: 1. Tedious and too long - e.g. I don't need to know the formal definitions between "revise", "edit", "proofread" if I'm not a professional editor, just a humble employee asked to review a teammate's paper. 2. Doesn't "practice what it preahes" about visual appeal. 3. Some quiz questions are vaguely phrased

Good info that is useful to a general audience. I enjoyed what was taught and I liked having a refresher of what makes a good written document.

I'd encourage the team to work on creating a better video. Some issues with white balance and editing. Also,, try to use the in-video quiz feature of Coursera to test people's knowledge.
